ok, here are my thoughts on this for what it is worth. I believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that there is a Spirit rhealm, and that there are Spirits which are of God and spirits which are not. you can read time and again of such spiritual forces in scripture, such as the evil spirits posessing various people and Jesus casting them out etc. Both exist and both are recognised by Jesus and written about in scripture. to continue on the thread, i think that people who are not communicating with the Holy Spirit may be communicating with spirits not of God. Just as the Holy Spirit is able to reveal things to us, that we can know the mind of Christ, i think that spirits not of God can reveal things to humans who have a spiritual awareness, but they are certainly not knowing the mind of Christ. They are 'tapping into a spirit' where there may be a truthful knowledge, but if it is not for God it is against God and i personally don't want to open myself up to unGodly influences such as this. Satan is out to deceive, steal and destroy from the freedom and fulness of life which God wants us to know . We can see in Genesis 3, which is the account of Adam and Eve, and it is specifically about when satan tempted Eve, lied to her and deceived her. It all started by satan getting along side her and communicating. She spoke back and 'entertained' in her mind the reality and questioned the truth of God because of the subtle digs which satan used. Satan tends to work in similar ways today. He will come along side and make us question the truth of Gods word. 'did God really say???' If we entertain these thoughts and allow him to have a foot in our thinking, he is cunning and we suddenly find ourselves in false teaching and not sure how we got there. Gods word does say we are not to 'go there', just as God told Eve not to go there. There clearly is a false truth which satan is deceiving people with, coaxing them in, trapping them and deceiving them. the choice is ours. Do we go against Gods best for us which He has given us in His word, or do we choose to enquire of ungodly places where people are enquiring of spirits not of God and who ultimately are trying to destroy, steal and trap us in the clutches of satan with a truth initialy but which if we are not fully testing and discerning, we will be led down a path which will harm and lead to death? if Satan used things which were clearly false and humanly speaking we could easily discern as wrong, then that would deter people instantely. it has to be truth to start with to coax people in. As the world continues, i personally think that if we are aware of this, we will see the ways satan is moving in our land and in the direction humanity is going. God is victorious though and we can chase after God and enquire of Him and His plans and will for our lives.
